Who Has The Best Makeup In MAGA World? We Asked A Beauty Expert

Most of the Trump family women fall under the umbrella of Republican makeup. After all, the Trump family has experienced many makeup fails over the years. In addition to Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Lara Trump (who’s gone makeup-free), are many other famous Republican women who were in the running for “best” MAGA makeup. They include Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lauren Boebert, Karoline Leavitt, Kristi Noem, and many, many more. According to Amber Renee, MUA, Lara, the wife of Donald Trump’s son Eric Trump, is faring much better than the other women.

“Okay, so I know the whole ‘Republican makeup’ trend kind of pokes fun at the heavy glam look we often see from a lot of MAGA women — but honestly, looking at these pics, Lara Trump stands out in the best way,” Renee tells us. “Her makeup feels more polished and modern compared to the rest. Her complexion looks fresh, her contour is blended (not harsh), and her lashes and brows are bold without being overdone. It’s giving camera-ready without looking caked on.”

Unfortunately, Guilfoyle and Noem didn’t rank nearly as highly with Renee. “In contrast, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Kristi Noem are definitely rocking that classic Fox News glam, but it leans into the overly sculpted, super matte, almost pageant-y territory,” she explains. As for Boebert, her makeup “is cute, but the harsh lighting doesn’t do her any favors — and the red lipstick plus bold eye combo is a little intense for daytime.” Meanwhile, Renee says of Leavitt’s somewhat more understated beauty look, “It borders on flat — like, it could use a little more dimension or warmth.” Overall, she tells us, “Lara just hits the sweet spot: glam, but approachable. It feels intentional without screaming, ‘I’m wearing a lot of makeup.'”
